A Savage-Like Axiomatization for Nonstandard Expected Utility (1701.03500v7)
Published 12 Jan 2017 in cs.AI
Abstract: Since Leonard Savage's epoch-making "Foundations of Statistics", Subjective Expected Utility Theory has been the presumptive model for decision-making. Savage provided an act-based axiomatization of standard expected utility theory. In this article, we provide a Savage-like axiomatization of nonstandard expected utility theory. It corresponds to a weakening of Savage's 6th axiom.
